clinch against the fence. He’s looking for a takedown, defended
well by Magny until ref McCarthy splits up the clinch again.

stand back up. Magny breaks off the clinch this time, landing a
right hook on his way out. McCarthy pauses the action with one
minute left to remove some stray tape from Magny’s left glove. When

back to tie up again. McCarthy breaks them up midway through the
round, and Baczynski immediately comes back to slam Magny to the
ground. Magny ties up from underneath, keeping Baczynski in his
guard, so Baczynski postures up in an attempt to pass. Instead,

Nunes tests the range with a couple leg kicks inside before missing
with a spinning kick that de Randamie sidesteps. De Randamie has
yet to unload after one minute, just creeping forward on the
Brazilian, and now they clinch against the fence. Nunes goes for a
single-leg, lifts de Randamie into the air but can’t take her to

is able to absorb most of the strikes with her forearms. Nunes sits
up high in the mount and turns up the volume on the elbow strikes.

from hitting her head, referee Herb Dean tells her to defend
herself. With de Randamie stuck underneath Nunes, the ref steps in
to call an end to the bout.

Round 1

Bermudez pumps his jab in Siler’s face and then changes levels for
a shot. Siler sprawls on it at first, but the second effort yields
a takedown for Bermudez, who pops Siler with left hands as they
work back to their feet against the fence. Bermudez lands a knee to
the groin of Siler, who takes a few seconds to recover and gets
back to business. Bermudez shoots in again, but this time Siler is
waiting with an arm-in guillotine. The choke looks deep, but
Bermudez rolls out and powers back to his feet for another
takedown. Siler tries a triangle now, and Bermudez slams his way
out of it before dropping some heavy elbows on Siler’s face. Siler
rolls over and stands, then tries another guillotine when Bermudez
shoots for another takedown. Bermudez drops Siler on his head this
time and then goes for a guillotine of his own. Bermudez cranks the
choke from half-guard, can’t finish, so he steps into full mount.
Siler still won’t tap, so Bermudez drops to guard and squeezes on
Siler’s neck. Siler pops his head loose and stands. He tries to
jump guard with another guillotine attempt and gets thrown to the
ground before the horn.

Round 2

Siler comes over the top with a right hand as he moves around the
outside, then has to defend another takedown when Bermudez shoots
against the fence. Again, Siler tries to jump guard with a
guillotine, but Bermudez is too slippery now and simply shakes him
off. The featherweights clinch against the fence with Siler on the
outside until Bermudez drives forward and hits another takedown.
Siler wraps his arms around Bermudez’s torso to keep him close, but
Bermudez is still able to drop short, right-handed hammer fists
from guard. Bermudez advances to half-guard and frames up another
guillotine when Siler sits up. Instead, Bermudez switches to a neck
crank with his left arm looped around Siler’s head. Siler has his
hand in the air; at first, it looks like he’s ready to tap, but
then he raises his hand as if he’s looking for a stand-up from ref
Mario Yamasaki. Bermudez releases the crank and Siler gets back to
his feet, socking Bermudez with an elbow to the temple as the round
ends.

then hits Krause with a hard kick to the thigh and a jab to the
face. A left straight snaps back Krause’s head, and Green gives him

slips backward into the fence after a high kick. Now the
lightweights move to the fence, with Smith wrapping up Chiesa in a
body lock, then moving to a rear waistlock and suplexing the
“Maverick” to the canvas. Smith tries a kimura on top and gets
swept underneath by Chiesa, who secures back-control with a body
triangle. Three minutes left in the round and Chiesa is hunting for
a rear-naked choke, but Smith is doing well to fight off his hands.
Smith keeps his chin buried and continues to fend off the RNC, then
posts up and twists free of the body triangle. Chiesa tries to
mount, can’t get it and instead stands, where Smith turns the
tables by taking his back. Smith loses the position, but he keeps
after Chiesa as he stands and then leaps on his back again. Now

and starts working for the rear-naked choke even as Masvidal rushes
back to his feet. Khabilov gets him back down, but Masvidal powers
to his feet and winds up on top in a scramble. Khabilov escapes and
the lightweights reset on their feet with half a round to go.
Khabilov shoots a double and nearly gets caught in a crucifix by
the sprawling Masvidal. A single-leg shot from Masvidal puts them
